Seriously, if you were management at a distressed firm - Would you want to hire some turn-around pro's who might place just this sort of a lawyer, under a cloud of Stigma, into your shop? To hire a muddied lawyer with a background that could raise the likelihood of an involuntary colonoscopy down the road by a Federal Special Prosecutor, or some other cathartic mess, is a step backwards.

Goodness, it appears that Smelly Kellydoes in fact have some of the eToys stink on her. It was KELLY BEAUDIN STAPLETON whose name and authority was employed to silence the truth for the purpose of protecting other fellow DOJ lawyers from "injur[y to] the[ir] reputations and livelihoods" . And yes, that quote is in her own words as she asks the judge for the "favor"of protecting her associates in pretend crime fighting. Oh Kelly, you're going to get famous for all the wrong reasons...

Kelly B. Stapleton had her law license put on Administrative Suspension in PA.

Kelly B. Stapleton, who was employed by the Justice Department to protect the integrity of the bankruptcy system by overseeing case administration and engaging in litigating to enforce the bankruptcy laws, has recently resigned.

Experience has shown that this is going to get a lot more interesting. As successor to Ms. Stapleton, it would appear that Roberta A. DeAngelis now holds the baton with respect to the WebSci scandals. However, the existence of pending investigations by the FBI or other Federal or Congressional authorities may impede self directed efforts within the EOUST to clean up this particular mess.

BankruptcyMisconduct.com will continue to report on this WebSci Scandal and its aftermath. Again, we wish to thank the contributions from parties, attorneys, officials, and fellow internet journalists whether such submissions are done confidentially, anonymously, or without restriction.
